What about using small water balloons in sling tag? They are heavy enough, and would break on target. They are cheap, and would be much safer than any type of ball worthy to be slung. I haven't seen them mentioned yet on this forum.
I like the idea in theory. Though they would have to be filled and tied very consistently or it would affect accuracy.
Actually, you could probably make "spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye." Essentially, giant paintballs.
I've tested actual .68 caliber paintballs. The range was less than stunning but I think if we made them bigger, it might work.
